Does anyone have info on this movie? JJ Abrams is directing and there is a huge veil over what it could be. Some type of monster flick, not sure.

Seen the trailer a few times, the question is WHAT is the movie about? Cannot find a single thing about this flick, driving me nuts. Guess that's the point to all the secrecy.

Combine Godzilla and the Blair Witch Project.
It's a "monster movie" shot 1st person by the people involved.

From the IMDb forums:

• Revolves around a monster attack in New York as told from the point of view of a small group of people.

• The movie starts with a rescue group in a "destruction zone" who find a camcorder, plug it and starts to see what happen "that day".

• The first trailer for this movie played before Transformers (2007). It showed a blurry camera seeing destruction wreaked on New York City, with the Woolworth Building blowing up and the severed head of the Statue of Liberty falling onto the streets. There was no title.

• A person can be seen wearing a Slusho t-shirt in the movie trailer. It's visible when he leans toward the camera to ask if anything can be seen from the roof after watching the news broadcast. Slusho is a drink from J.J. Abrams' show "Alias" (2001) as well as this film's codename.
